St Mary the Virgin, Ilmington
Ordnance Survey reference: SP 210435
Roll of Honour: A wooden panel in the church porch.
Note that the last name on the panel, S.A. Westbury has slight differences in paint colouration: since he was a WW II fatality, his name must have been added at a later date. The five names above his may be villagers that served in WW II, or names that had been overlooked when the WW I listing was first drawn up. Can anyone with local knowledge of Ilmington clarify this point?
